Crash (FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process) or ANR(executing service ***/com.onfido.android.sdk.capture.ui.OnfidoStarterService) with firebase-perf and Onfido start activity for result

[READ] Step 1: Are you in the right place?

Issues filed here should be about bugs in the code in this repository.
If you have a general question, need help debugging, or fall into some
other category use one of these other channels:

• For general technical questions, post a question on StackOverflow
  with the firebase tag.
• For general Firebase discussion, use the firebase-talk
  google group.
• For help troubleshooting your application that does not fall under one
  of the above categories, reach out to the personalized
  Firebase support channel.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android Studio version:
• Firebase Component: com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:31.0.3
• Component version: com.onfido.sdk.capture:onfido-capture-sdk:20.2.0

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

1. Build onfido config and startActivityForResult.
2. Onfido launches the activity in the new process ***:onfido_process.
3. Don't Init firebase FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this) inside function onCreate() of app for ***:onfido_process. Observe Crash (FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process).
4. Init firebase FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this) inside function onCreate() of app for ***:onfido_process. Observe ANR.

What happened? -
Crash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process ***:onfido_process. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context). So firebase perf tracks network requests and can happen if FirebaseApp is not initialized ***:onfido_process.

ANR - Onfido third-party SDKs also trigger network requests automatically at startup that can block FirebaseApp.

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hi @ChavanSuyash, thank you for reaching out. Could you share an MCVE/ code snippet that can help us investigate the issue?

Aside from that, I notice that you're not using the latest Firebase SDK version. I suggest updating to the latest Firebase SDK version to get the latest features and bug fixes that might be causing the issues.
